	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Woman of Today (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		MacGregor relates her childhood and early years in apartheid South Africa where her family emigrated in 1947, of falling in love with radio at an early age and after finishing education in Britain returning to South Africa to gain broadcasting experience: talent won out and she was presenting her own programme at 20.
		After years of listening to Sue MacGregor on the radio, and admiring her skill as an interviewer, I was intrigued to read her well written autobiography and discover more about the person behind the famous voice and the professionalism.
		Sue MacGregor reminds us in a vivid and lively way of many of the momentous moments of the last 40 years which she has witnessed and described so well over the airwaves.

	The Scotsman - S2 Friday - RADIO: Today is yesterday
		It is perhaps a testament to MacGregor’s skill, and her position as one of Britain’s best-respected presenters, that she has not yet been formally replaced.
		MacGregor is still reeling from the furore over her book’s revelations about a five-year affair with Leonard Rossiter.
		Also, Sue Lawley, because "she is still one of broadcasting’s few women to break through the current affairs glass ceiling".

		Close friends and colleagues apparently suggested to Sue MacGregor that she ought to leave some of the more personal stuff out of her autobiography.
		Her father was one of a bunch of Edinburgh medical students who tried to 'kidnap' and hold to ransom (during 'rag' week, for charity) a famous actress.
		And her mother, after more than one gin and tonic, was given to the kind of direct questioning for which Sue herself is famous.

		FOne of the most distinguished and versatile of modern broadcasters, Susan Katriona MacGregor was brought up and educated in South Africa, where she attended the Cape's Herschel School, before entering radio as an announcer and producer with the South Africa Broadcasting Corporation in 1962.
		Her alarm clock went off before dawn from 1984 until her retirement in 2002, and while her male colleagues varied from the testy to the avuncular, Sue MacGregor brought a distinctive and calming balance of reassurance and authority to the programme.

	Randi Calls Telepathy 'Refuge Of Scoundrels'
		Sue MacGregor: A new set of Royal Mail stamps released today to celebrate the Nobel prizes has caused a stir in the scientific community because of claims made in a booklet accompanying the stamps that telepathy, and other paranormal activity, will one day be explained by modern physics.
		Sue MacGregor: I mean you are saying, to put it simply, that the mind is powerful enough to operate on the sort of level that physics could explain?
		Sue MacGregor: Well, with metal bending and Uri Geller and all that, I suppose people would say that the evidence is in the eyes of the observer, that the spoons did bend.

		Any sexagenarian might be hard-pressed to spill their life in two hours, let alone a woman who has faced the grandest names in 40 years of live radio.
		MacGregor packs it neatly and - alas - dully onto four grit-free sides.
		Those qualities for which she is adored by Today fans - calmness, courtesy and a voice of honey sandwiches - start to numb the ear after not very long when there are no contrasting, rougher-toned interviewees.

		BROADCASTER Sue MacGregor, former host of Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, has come to the rescue of Keswick’s Words by the Water literature festival after headline speaker Jon Snow was forced to pull out of his weekend date at the Theatre by the Lake.

	British Journalism Review Vol. 13, No. 2, 2002 - The woman who cracked the BBC's glass ceiling
		Margaret Thatcher’s rise from Finchley MP to Prime Minister was owed in no small part to hard work with a National Theatre voice coach who lowered her pitch by 46 Hertz to a point where it fell half-way between the range of male and female.
		MacGregor was still queen of Woman’s Hour in 1979 when the BBC’s head of radio, Aubrey Singer, and Peter Woon, editor of news and current affairs, decided that Radio 4’s flagship morning programme, Today, needed a permanent woman’s voice to give “texture” to the programme.
		It is to be hoped that Sue MacGregor will take her famous voice and go on to further broadcasting in a less constrained environment, one that will encourage to let more of her true personality show.

		What unexpectedly Steamy Sue finds interesting herself, of course, is her part in The Show, the scratchy mornings with Brian and John and Jim and Anna, the dawn joustings with Peter Mandelson and Dr Mawhinney.
		MacGregor tries to find one in the struggle of women to front live news shows and the way (perhaps) that she didn't get a Humphrys-sized contract.
		Here's a very junior Sue and her mate, Gay Beresford, farmed out for the afternoon to Gay's grandma's large Xhosa maid, Ellen, while granny pushes off to play bridge.

		This was my reaction to the first, long, long extract of Sue MacGregor’s much-anticipated autobiography which appeared in yesterday’s Daily Mail.
		Her publishers, Headline, are said to have paid a £250,000 advance for the memoir, and the Daily Mail chequebook is likely to have scribbled a six-figure sum as well.

		What we've been doing Sue over the last, nearly a year now since Iain became, became leader, is actually doing some very real work and proper analysis on the issues that matter to the British people and on the policies that we want to develop to meet people's needs.
